Jack Charlton in focus - Memories of a Leeds United legend

He was 'Big Jack', not only a Leeds United legend but a legend of the beautiful game.

Leeds United have renamed the East Stand at Elland Road in memory of Jack Charlton, the club's record appearance maker and World Cup winner. His death, aged 85 in July, added to a year of suffering for the club, having suddenly lost former players Norman Hunter and Trevor Cherry in the months prior. The former centre-back spent his entire career with the Whites making 773 appearances between 1953 and 1973, helping the club win a First Division title, a Second Division title, two Inter-Cities Fairs Cups, an FA Cup, a League Cup and a Charity Shield. He also helped the Three Lions to World Cup glory at Wembley in 1966, the only time England have lifted the famous trophy. Enjoy these on and off the pitch memories of our 'Big Jack'.
